Getting diamonds on Hay Day can prove challenging initially, especially if you're not willing to part with real cash. However, if you're patient, you'll amass quite a few to spend on things that count, like increasing the capacity of your farm machines to produce goods or to extend the amount of goods you can sell in the store.

Steps

Part 1

Game activities

1

Complete tasks set from the farmhouse. Click on the farmhouse to see all the tasks set; once you have made an achievement, you will win the amount of diamonds set for each level of that achievement until the achievement is exhausted.

2

Mine for diamonds. At level 24, you'll get access to the mine. The mine allows you to dig for or use explosives to get minerals to make the metal bars needed to make jewellery. Occasionally, this will also release some diamonds, so try to mine frequently.

Watch out! If you're playing without paying, your store of shovels and explosives can soon run down, so avoid selling these if at all possible, as you'll need them for your own use.

3

Spin the Wheel of Fortune. Sometimes it will land on a diamond.

Part 2

Lucky sources

1

Wait for gifts. Occasionally the game makers will gift you a few diamonds for a special occasion. This can occur during seasonal events or an internal event. The amount of diamonds retrieved in this manner can occur anywhere from 1 to 5 diamonds. Look for the gift box, usually placed near the farmhouse by the postie.

2

Wait for server errors. When the server goes offline and players can't play, there will sometimes be an apology gift from the game makers, consisting of diamonds. Again, look for the gift box, usually placed near the farmhouse by the postie.

3

Find diamonds randomly. Clicking on prize boxes, clicking on the red metal work box both on your own farm and on others' farms can sometimes result in gaining a diamond or more.

Part 3

External sources of diamonds

1

Follow Hay Day on Facebook. This will get you one diamond. And if you log in to Hay Day using Facebook, you'll get five diamonds. If you don't use or want to use Facebook, this step is optional.

If you like competitions, Supercell (the game makers) sometimes runs them from Facebook and prizes may include diamonds.

2

Level up. At the start, leveling up isn't too hard as the amount of experience points needed isn't too high. However, as you start moving up the levels, the amount of experience points gets a lot higher and so gaining the diamonds by leveling up will be a very slow process and you don't get very many this way.

3

Watch the movie. Find the pink movie ticket and click on it (it is just by where the newspaper is.) You will be taken to the "movies", either an advertisement for similar games or sometimes a movie short. Watch the short, then close the box on its X indicator. Then accept the reward, which includes both experience points and a diamond.

If you're lucky, you'll get quite a run of these, which can soon add up. A recent change allows you to choose to watch a set of movies in a row, with a slight chance of getting a diamond or a bigger chance of getting something else.

Part 4

Purchasing diamonds

1

Purchase diamonds. Diamonds can be purchased for real money. Not everyone wants to do this but it is an option.

Diamonds are currency, and currency cannot be bought in a shop. Unfortunately, you cannot exchange diamonds for coins or vice-versa. Selling diamonds is exchanging currency, which is against the rules.

Tips

Be careful about what you spend your diamonds on. The few diamonds that you do have should be treated with great care, so as not to waste them on anything frivolous. Be strategic with how you part with your diamonds by assessing where their expenditure will get you the most value.

Diamonds can also be made if you update following a request by the game makers to do so.

If you like fast pace in a game, you're liable to use diamonds to speed up crop and product production. This will drain the diamonds quickly, so you'll either need to choose between real cash purchase of more diamonds or slowing down the pace somewhat. In the latter case, perhaps play the game less often and use other games in between for your speed need!

Warnings

Be careful to avoid accidentally hitting the areas of the game that allow for payment with diamonds. You'll lose the diamond amount required and get an action performed that you might not have wanted. A common error with just the slip of the finger is accidentally pressing on the shop "sell now" icon, which releases your shop goods for sale immediately but loses you a diamond in the process. Since there is barely any waiting time for the goods to go live anyway, this diamond loss really isn't worth the mistake.
